Comment 33 for bug 600178

I have this issue with nvidia hardware and the nvidia driver since 8.04
Always only while using compiz. But since compiz is now also unitys problem, it's fair to say it's also an important one finally.

Tried severall workaround and some bring good performance but aspecially videos will always tear a little bit with compiz and since alpha 2 from natty also unde unity - of course.

nvidia gforce 8400gs and latest nvidia
pentium 4

Hopefully some highly skilled and canonical programmers build from pure fire and stars will smack the s$%§ out of this bug ... pls
